Russia faces surface-to-air missile shortage as it defends Moscow from drone attacks

Russia faces a widespread surface-to-air missile shortage, forcing it to redeploy air defense units to protect Moscow from drone attacks. The "missile drought" is evident in reports of empty launchers, use of older munitions, and repurposed air-to-air missiles. This depletion is attributed to sustained Ukrainian drone strikes and potential damage to Russian missile production facilities. The situation highlights a global challenge in maintaining adequate missile supplies against modern drone warfare, with both Russia and Ukraine seeking innovative solutions to counter aerial threats.
